Dimensions?

There's no mesurements of the height or width of the pillars. The mesurements are important infromation that should be added to this article. 173.188.36.87 (talk) 05:42, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find a source that mentions their dimensions, and when I was there earlier this month I was so busy photographing the pillars that I forgot to measure them! If I can find their dimensions I will add them. BabelStone (talk) 09:56, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Luckily the heights are given on the information board next to the pillars, so I have added their heights now (2.28m and 2.63m). I will keep an eye open for sources that mention any other dimensions. BabelStone (talk) 10:25, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
